• Timeout – Maximum time for which Summit WM Switch will wait for a
response from the RADIUS server before making a re-attempt.
• NAS Identifier – RADIUS attribute that identifies the server responsible
for passing information to the designated servers and then acting on the
response returned. This is an optional text box.
• Auth Type – Authentication protocol to be used by the RADIUS server to
authenticate the wireless device users. The four options are:
• AP – Password authentication protocol
• CHAP – Challenge handshake authentication protocol
• MS-CHAP – Windows-specific version of CHAP
• MS-CHAP v2– Windows-specific version of Chap (Version 2)
• Set as primary server – Select to configure the RADIUS server as the
primary server.
7. Select the appropriate checkbox against Include VSA Attributes.
Vendor Specific Attributes feature provides you the following three options:
• APs
• WM-AD
• SSID
These VSA are defined on the RADIUS server.
8. To reset the server that you are configuring as the primary server, click Reset
to Primary button is enabled and you want to reset the server (that you are
configuring) as the primary server, click Reset to Primary.
The Reset to Primary button is enabled in the following RADIUS redundancy
set-up scenarios:
• The Summit WM Switch’s connection to the primary RADIUS server fails.
• The Summit WM Switch automatically attempts and is successful in
initiating a connection with the alternative RADIUS server.
• The alternative RADIUS server becomes the primary server.
If you want the server that you are configuring to be the primary server, you
must click on the enabled Reset to Primary button.
9. To save your changes, click Save.
10. Test the Summit WM Switch’s connection to all configured RADIUS servers.
To test the connection with the RADIUS servers, click Test. The RADIUS
servers display the message transaction on their screens. You must visually
verify the state of the server connection and the user authentication.
